>In China, the babies wear crotchless onesie's instead of diapers. They just squat down and let fly. In a McDonald's in Beijing, there was a couple with a baby seated behind my wife. At one point I saw this beautiful golden arch appear over her shoulder. Narrowly missing her and her fish burger.

Not sure what a onesie is. Bit confused about the golden arch too. Did it eminate from the baby or did someone blow up the McDonald's? :-)
